Download: Aaron Embry, ‘Moon of the Daylit Sky’

0

There’s no moment in recent memory that I’ve been happier glued to the floor than the chilly night this past February when Aaron Embry played to a completely hushed (!) room at the Silverlake Lounge. A voice, a special guitar, a board to stomp on, and a wide-open vein of emotions – those are the components of Embry’s relentlessly optimistic yet heartbreakingly realistic folk music. Long respected for his work with other bands, including Avi Buffalo, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and his own Amnion, Embry has now made a solo album, “Tiny Prayers,” which comes out Sept. 18 via Alex Ebert’s Community Music imprint. This one’s special.
